one's own mother on the 7th, too, whom I tried to honour tacitly by remarking on her gift of education. she and her husband let me see them reserving a substantial part of every day for the pleasure of reading. the examplary spectacle extends beyond reading and goes to respecting the sovereignty of others in what nourishes them. I don't know a religion, I don't know a restaurant that teaches that. :)

HOW THEY DECORATED

now available at Amazon

My book HOW THEY DECORATED, for Rizzoli, was published in April of 2017. I have been an interior designer for over 30 years & have an abiding passion for the original, & history. Little Augury was born on New Year's Eve 2008. It began as a way of continuing a conversation with a beloved mentor & the promise to keep just a bit of his wit & wisdom alive by sharing it whenever possible. Little Augury focuses on interior design, art, literature, fashion & social history with an eye, always looking back to the past, in hope of understanding what is authentic & what will endure & what connects us to our environment. Always listening for the footstep on the old stair-the sound of lives that walked that way.
